Biography
Bahir was born in 1074 to Da'ud Shirazid, and he was from the Sunni Muslim Bedouin Shirazids. Da'ud seized power for himself in 1081, wresting power away from his young nephew Emir Da'ud II and letting his line rule the family. His father, known as "Emir Da'ud III 'the Mad'" during his reign, died in 1089, and Bahir inherited the throne from him. However, his cousin Da'ud, the lowly sheikh of Tadjoura by the time of his accession, began a revolt against Bahir in hopes of regaining his birthright. Even his sister Saaman bint Da'ud rebelled against him, and Bahir fought a bloody civil war against the Tadjoura rebels.
